After investigating the parties at the British seat of government, the police imposed a total of 126 sentences. Prime Minister Boris Johnson received no further information. The celebrations took place during the Corona lockdown and put pressure on the prime minister.
83 people received a total of 126 fines for violating the Corona rules in force at the time. Boris Johnson and his Treasury Secretary Rishi Sunak had previously been fined for attending a Johnson birthday party. “There is no other street in the country where more people have broken the law than Downing Street,” said London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Parliament is still investigating
However, the affair did not end with the end of the police investigation. Johnson has yet to confront parliament, which has appointed a committee to review alleged lies surrounding the parties. In addition, a report from top official Sue Gray should include specific names and details. Gray had initially only made the initial statements public, alleging “serious misconduct” and “management failure”. British media suspect that anonymized photos could appear in the report, which has not yet been published.
Johnson himself said he was looking forward to hearing what the officer had to say. “And that will be, let’s keep our fingers crossed, very soon next week.” The “Partygate affair” had put pressure on the British Prime Minister. Even his own party colleagues called for Johnson’s resignation. Justice Minister David Wolfson resigned because the Prime Minister’s behavior was incompatible with the rule of law.
